Almost 2/3s of nursing home residents in America rely on Medicaid. Is this you or someone you love? What happens if Congress cuts Medicaid? @louisenorris.bsky.social explains.

We just went through end of life with a parent who simply didn't have any savings, had to get by on SS and a small military pension - about 2500 a month. That was nowhere near enough for her housing and care so us family paid the other 5000 to house her in a decent (Catholic) home here in LA.
We'd brought her from the Texas home she was in when covid hit and she lived with us for 3 years. My wife broke her leg and so couldn't do the full care she needed, so thank God for a Catholic non-profit home that between her income and our cash she could live decently in.
Without Medicaid, SS and family $ I shudder to think how her final years would have been. She would have died years earlier for sure, and miserably. The casual way some gov't officials address these safety nets is so incredibly blind to reality. Just cruel and heartless. Shameful.
